Bachelor premiere gets 8.5 million viewers; 3 year high

I wimped out earlier this week and worked from home. I’m blaming it on the polar vortex, but really it’s my Bachelor Premiere hangover. Was anyone else completely pumped up after the premiere? I was so happy that finally, FINALLY we seem to have a Bachelor that has drawn keen interest for his good looks, charisma, charm, sincerity and humor. Not to mention some of the best looking females the show has seen in several seasons. Glad they threw 2 extra women into the mix this season – the more the merrier, but that didn’t make it any easier on our guy.
